Ingredients
 

  • 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pinch of nutmeg optional
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Melt the Butter:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

Add Garlic:

  • Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Stir in Cream and Milk:

  • Add the heavy cream and whole milk to the saucepan. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

Add Cheese:

  • Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Season the Sauce:

  • Add salt and pepper to taste. If using, add a pinch of nutmeg for an additional layer of flavor. Continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Serve:

  • Remove the sauce from heat. Serve immediately over cooked pasta, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
